My Candidate Update

As you know, if you know me or have been reading this, I've had to re-align my favorites for the 2008 election... a few times. As dirt surfaces, and as people say dumb things, I've had to keep re-analysing who will be the absolute best for the long-term best interests of America.

Right when finally I think my initial assessment of Tancredo being the best is solidified, he tries to bet his campaign on a baseball game. There's too much at stake for that. Maybe he just wanted some extra publicity, and to try to capture the hearts and minds of the Americans who don't have a clue (ie: the ones who care more about "reality TV" and celebrities doing dumb things than anything else). That took him down a notch in my book. He's still in the top three for me...

Hunter. He started as my number 3. He moved up to number 2 when I learned about Thompson's CFR ties. Thompson was dropped from the list. We can not afford to elect anyone with CFR ties. Hunter took the time to visit and speak at the Gathering of Eagles event. He made it clear we were at war with an ideology, and we could not afford to back down. He was a good speaker, and you could tell the issues were important to him, not just important to getting elected.

Thompson dropping from my list moved Huckabee up to number 3. Huckabee echoes the platforms of Tancredo and Hunter, so closely that I thought since he's the most popular of the underdogs he might be the best after all. Then some dirt surfaced. He's not my top pick for the absolute best, but he keeps saying the right things, and he's still in my top 3, if only because nobody else seems to be available...

Huckabee recently got an endorsement from Chuck Norris, on WorldNetDaily, and is still popular there.

So is another 9/11 possible?
Huckabee responds,
"There's almost an inevitability, not just a possibility. It will happen again. And it'll happen because we face an enemy that is not a nation-state that can be contained within borders and boundaries, because their war is not about borders and boundaries. Islamofascism is rooted in a theocratic Islamic jihadism that seeks to destroy and annihilate every last one of us. It wants to establish a complete Islamic theocracy across the world, and for that to happen it means our culture has to be completely snuffed out. There's no peaceful co-existence, there's no accommodation, there's no naïve nonsense that if we leave them alone they leave us alone. This is a war someone will win and someone will lose. Whoever perseveres and whoever has the strongest will, will in fact win, and that's why we can't give up."

He seems to have a good grasp of the situation, and his recent rise to front-runner status is encouraging, but I'm likely going to be keeping my fingers crossed for Hunter all the way. Huckabee might not be the cleanest, but he's not stupid either- and bottom line is, he's still better than the other front-runners... I hope that if he does manage to get in office, he'll choose Hunter (or even Tancredo) as a solid VP.

Tancredo Trivializes Election- To Quit If Rockies Lose World Series???

You just can't trivialize the presidential election like this!

“Governor Romney, I propose we make a bet on the World Series.” Tancredo said. “I will agree to drop out of the race if the Red Sox win on the condition that you will agree to drop out if the Rockies win.”

This comes a week after Tancredo challenged Romney to a trap shooting contest in New Hampshire, with the loser to drop out of the race.

What on earth is he thinking? Someone tell me he's joking! DANG IT. Candidates, square yourselves away and knock this crap off!

Dirt on Huckabee (DARN He was too good to be true)

My friends of the VA Militia sent me the following from hot air and now I feel the need to rain on everyone else's parade:

The Case Against Huckabee

--------------------
Well, crap. Another one bites the dust. Thank you
for sharing. I'm back to Tancredo and Hunter. I
watched Hunter speak at the GOE on 15 Sept. He had
remarkable charisma, and came across as having a
passion for trying to do the right thing. As a vet,
he's got more cred, and his son's in the service too if I recall correctly.

I think subconsciously I knew Huckabee was "too good
to be true" and that's why I wasn't giving him any
time until Chuck Norris (Please don't roundhouse kick
me) weighed in...

I gotta say, even with all that
dirt, he still comes out looking cleaner than most of
the others- but that's besides the point- I'm not
going to compromise my integrity and vote for anyone
who betrayed the trust placed in him. America doesn't
need that.
Again, I'm back where I started, 2 underdogs: Tancredo and Hunter.

3 if you count Colbert, who, since he's cleaner than Huckabee, moves up on my list if he can overcome the little matter of the FEC breathing down his neck. I mean, come on, it's Doritos promoting him... It's not like he's got Chinese dishwashers sending him millions... and he's not CFR. LOL. Yes, America, we are screwed, but I can't help but imagine Ben Franklin might like Colbert if he were alive today...

My Thoughts on Ron Paul- Think Ahead!

Paul doesn't fit. He would have us bury our heads in the sand and let everyone chop at our necks. We need someone who is firm on the Constitution, but without the short-sighted craziness. He looks great for short term planning, but if you look a few more years down the road there's still chaos. Perhaps no Hitlery nanny state, but we would still face global problems. Terrorists don't go away by themselves.

Tancredo is firm on more than one issue- go to his issues page, and you'll see. Same with Hunter. I can't say which would be better, but I think they are great men who would do wonderful things for this country, perhaps together, if given the chance.

Other people have great logical reasons for not supporting Paul- but the only reasons I hear against Tancredo and Hunter are "they don't have a chance" and that's just stupid. If they don't win it was because the people were once again duped and mislead into playing the media popularity contest and voting not for the right person, but the person they were told had the best chance of winning. Stand your moral ground! Take the time to consider the real long term possibilities of each candidate. This is not American Idol. Sound Bites do not save the world. This is more like chess and you have to think ahead!

Why Is This Man Only 5th????

Tancredo is ranking fifth in the latest home-state polls behind Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney. WHY ANYONE would think about Giuliani, Romney, or even McCain before this steadfast American is beyond be!

He's debating on how to proceed. Lets hope he surges to the front. He's one of just a couple of candidates who would actually be good for the long term best interest of this country! Sadly, I don't even see Hunter on the list!

OK to Taser U.S. Citizens, Not Illegals... NEW amnesty rider on defense bill

OK to Taser U.S. Citizens, but not illegals.

Isn't that just lovely? So now they have to just release the illegals back on our population, rather than attempt to hold them to the same standards our citizen criminals are held to. Why do they get the kid glove treatment?

I'm glad Tancredo is working to fight this nonsense! PLEASE give this guy some more exposure! He needs to be elected!

----
Why is yet ANOTHER amnesty rider being attempted? Yep, they're at it again... not as offensive as the last one, but would still give millions access to taxpayer resources. Why is this being added to our defense bill? If anything a fence should be added!

Thompson on Council on Foreign Relations- FRIEND OF NAU!!!

Thompson has ties to NAU! <---READ Like I said, we need to IGNORE the media candidates. Tancredo is being ignored by the media. It should go without saying that since he really does stand firm, that's why Thompson is so "popular."

Tancredo for president, why not? <--- Here's Why!
Globalists just had NC adopt a NAU drivers license.

Globalists just flung open our already week borders to Mexican trucks just days before a 9-11 anniversary. I'm not a huge conspiracy theory person, but no matter what, it certainly gives our enemies even easier access to bring us "surprises."

Enjoy Thompson all you want on Law and Order... but don't forget the Lawlessness and Chaos the Council on Foreign Relations will bring us in the guise of "Order," the New World kind.

Tancredo for president- why or why not???

Here are the issues:
http://www.teamtancredo.com/tancredo_issues_index.asp

Tancredo seems the most willing to stand fast on the majority of important issues that will determine the very future existence of our nation.

Other front running conservatives seem to have sold out, or have had hidden agendas. Tancredo clearly and boldly states where he stands on issues that will, as I and countless others have stated, determine the future of our nation. The next president, more than any other, will have the power to make or break us. We need a president who will stand firm against illegals, against terrorists, and beef up homeland security and protect the Constitution while doing so.

We need to mobilize for the very future of our country and ensure the right person gets the job. That means coming together like we have done to make our voice be heard to Congress. We need to come together and vote to make our voice be heard that we will not tolerate a socialist president or a sell-out who will not fight for our future and our freedoms!

What is your take on Tom Tancredo? Do you think he would be the best for the job? Why or why not? If not him, then who, and why?
